Home Show Weekend: We Can't Wait!

Hello! What a beautiful week we've had! Hope you all have had a chance to spend some time outside enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. We love it! This is perfect real estate weather.

We can only hope we have some nice days like this next weekend when the 2015 Home Show takes place. The 68th annual Home Show will be at The Old National Events Plaza (formerly The Centre) next Saturday, April 11 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday, April 12 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.  There will be over 250 booths/displays, speakers, retailers, and entertainment. The Home Show is so much fun to walk through because it's filled with inspiration for building, remodeling, designing, landscaping, and more. Seriously, anything you want to focus on in your home or yard, you will find help from a booth at the show. 

The Home Show weekend is also well-known for the guest speakers who attend and do both stage presentations and meet-and-greets to offer advice to guests. This year's line up is fantastic. Here are a few of the stage presentations to look forward to, and you can check out the entire schedule on the Home Show website. From HGTV's Design Star Anne Rue, who will be presenting "Buying and Selling with Style" and "Get On Trend into Summer".

 From HGTV's Flipping the Block, Whitney and John Spinks will be presenting "Design Tips to Flip For" and "The Secrets to Become a DIY Guru". Whitney and John are also Evansville natives!

Nationally acclaimed design expert Brian Santos (he's been everywhere, including The Today Show), The Wall Wizard, will be presenting several topics including painting and decorating how-to's, faux finishing, and installing wall coverings. He is awesome! You don't want to miss his presentations. 

And of course we are excited to share that ERA First Advantage will be presenting The Top 10 Staging Tips compiled by local experts. Sellers, this one is for you!

The Home Show is always a great way to get some inspiration and tips for home improvements large and small. We always learn a few things about the latest trends and exciting new developments for all things home-related. If you don't want to sit for a presentation, you can always just walk through the booths at your leisure -- there is so much to look at! 

Have you been to the Home Show in years past? What are some of your favorite booths to check out each year? We hope to see you there next weekend!
